@marginalia_nu: Definitely not saying this should be a top priority to fix, but I tried to look at the source out of interest, and the Git repo link in “Feel free to poke about in the source code or contribute to the development” on the search page is currently 404ing.

Hmm, should be fixed now. I used to run my own git forge, but moved over to github, leaving the git.marginalia.nu domain with a redirect that was supposed to direct over to the github repository, but apparently it didn't quite work for that link for some reason.

  Since the nginx is currently serving its "hello nginx" even for "/", this bypasses the whole problem: https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch I'm not sure why the change <https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/commit/9044518be550d7a3f5adeda601a10dbfaa67b760 https://github.com/MarginaliaSearch/MarginaliaSearch/commit/...> wouldn't just point to GitHub itself; is there analytics value in having people click on your domain first?

    It's a philosophical thing. I want to own my presence on the web, not rent it. So even when I'm using 3rd party services, I want a subdomain I own to point them out, so you can say like "here's the authoritative link", and if microsoft goes and enshittens github, I can just redirect it to codeberg or whatever comes next. I think it works now though. It's a pain to migrate several dozen nginx sites, especially with browsers helpfully remembering stale redirects for weeks.

IMHO it's just a matter of time before the inevitable email: "all github accounts are being migrated to microsoft accounts. your github credentials will no longer work after mm/dd/2026. please migrate to continue using github." codeberg is excellent.
